Welcome! Benvindos!
Welcome to the Gente da Nossa TV website. We are currently on the process of making various changes to this site. On a weekly basis, you can tune in and view the online segments that were broadcast on our television program airing on Citytv on Saturday mornings.
Produced weekly since 1987, Gente da Nossa is possibly the longest running of all Portuguese television programs in Canada. We have produced over 1,200 weekly TV shows since the inicial pilot program. We started on Graham Cable 10 which was only seen in the old City of York & a small section in west Toronto. Shaw Cable later purchased Graham which was then bought out by Rogers Cable. During those early years on cable, Gente TV was only 30 minutes in length. Since joining Chin & Citytv for the past 10 years, Gente da Nossa has been 60 minutes long airing on 8-9am every Saturday morning seen from coast to coast across Canada.
Our commitment is to continue to produce television for our viewers across Canada & the world via this site. Every week we do our best to bring you the most complete & diverse program possible. Cesar & I pride ourselves in providing a wide variety of segments with coverage of local events & images from our travels down south & to the other side of the Atlantic.
Recently, we travelled with one of our tours to the Pearl of the Atlantic, Madeira Island to participate in the Flower Festival. You can view some of those segments during the following programs right here on GenteTV.com. Hopefully one day you can join us in one of our tours. After Madeira, we had a short rest and then returned with another group in May to the Feasts of Santo Cristo in the beautiful Green Island of Sao Miguel in the Azores. Those images can also be seen on the program & online during the next few weeks. Other upcoming events is our annual Rodeo - Running of the Bulls, Picnic & Music Festival at Madeira Park. This yearly event is organized in co-operation with the Ganadaria Sol & Toiros Inc. Make plans to attend. It will be a wild fun-filled weekend with lots of bulls, food & music! Keep in touch & in tune with GenteTV.com. Please tell your friends about us!
Beijinhos & Kisses,
Nellie
